The CGM biosensor offers high antinoise ability and tunable sensitivity and resolution.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers from various Chinese universities have developed a miniature-sized continuous glucose monitoring system that works as effectively as market-leading systems.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT
The CGM sensor is made of an organic electrochemical transistor (OECT), which better amplifies signal-to-noise ratio than conventional sensors.
It also features a minimally invasive microneedle array and a viscoelastic and diffusive hydrogel which stabilises the skin-device interface.
WHY IT MATTERS
In a study published in the peer-reviewed Science Advances journal, the OECT showed comparable sensitivity to the Dexcom G6, which was used as a reference device.
“This fully integrated, wearable device promises enhanced antinoise ability,...
